Yes it updated to 4.4.2. Got the micro Sim activated only an hr ago. So now using the Moto G properly. The phone is butter smooth. Loved the UI and the dialer and everything so far about it.

Its too early to say anything about the battery life. May be after a couple of days of useage. The moto assist is a fantastic feature.

Also got 50GB drive storage free for 2 years. I mean how much can a company give for $200?? Seeing this I feel others are just ripping us customers.

Forgot to add this. One issue I noticed is that on the Tbhp app the lower panel is hidden behind the soft on screen buttons.

@mods pls merge this with the above post. On mobile app and unable to add pic in edit mode.

Good to read your experiences. I use the nexus 4 and feel that the Moto G is like a junior Nexus. It surely is the phone to beat for anyone looking for a great phone at a great price. 100 times better than going in for the cheaper brands that are popular in India these days, IMHO.

Updated my Nexus 4 to 4.4.2 and there is some major heating issues. This was initially observed when I got my phone last year with Android 4.2. During continuous usage on 3G or Wi-Fi the area near the camera gets heated. This time again after upgrading to 4.4.2, am facing the same issues.

Also, suddenly Google+ seems to be eating away my battery life. I don't use any social networking site on my phone except for twitter maybe and Google+ is somehow activated on its own and uses ~60% of my battery life all of a sudden. This really sucks, cause I can live with turning off my data usage but not with a dead phone.

100% agree with your statement. I have nexus 4 and now got Moto G, it is younger brother of nexus.

Battery life came around for 1 day 10 hours and still 10% remaining. And this is with 3g on, what's app and regular calls.

After 2 days of use age i can safely say that Moto G is one of the best Phones i have used. Its fluidic, Smooth and lag free. Battery is pretty awesome. Now one issue i noticed is this:

I send out multi sms to my friends 2 mobile numbers. Till i was on Samsung i never faced this mms issue. As soon as I add 2 numbers in a sms Recipient it changes to MMS. Please see screen shots below.

Now, both the numbers i am sending sms to are saved as "Mobile" in my contact list.

I first thought that its just showing up as MMS but sending out normal sms only, but later i got to know from my friend who i was texting that he is receiving my sms on one number and mms on his other number.

Found some posts which suggest that moto G in India will be dual SIM. If true, will have to choose between the galaxy s3 or S4 mini. I don't want dual sim phone.

Can nexus 4 users please tell which among the three - S3, S4 mini and nexus 4 has a better screen.

I know the s4 mini does not have a full hd screen. But it is 2/3 k below the s3.

S3 and Nexus 4 have different types of screens. S3 has Super Amoled display so colours are saturated while Nexus has IPS LCD so colours are more natural. My brother is using Nexus 4 and the screen is excellent. And performance wise Nexus 4 is much smooth to operate as it doesnt have any bloatware as compared to samsung. So my vote goes for Nexus 4.

Not to forget the 2GB RAM on Nexus 4 vs 1 GB RAM On the S3. This makes a world of difference on the performance. The only thing that the S3 beats Nexus 4 is on the camera part.
